The American Spectator

Think how much good these people could do if they spent as much time making their communities a better place instead of prepping for their coming armed revolution and spinning increasingly delusional conspiracies.

Think how much less Pete would hate himself if he had enough masculinity to have ever fired a weapon.

Why, what a witty and well thought out retort. Actually, chuckles, I have shot a gun before. I personally could take them or leave them.

If one has to find self-validation or gender validation based on firearms, then their lives have substantially more issues than some imaginary forces conspiring against them.

Sure you have, nancy boy.

Did Spectator READ this article before posting? Some of those people had EXTREME conspiracy theories. Is Spectator endorsing them?

What an interesting article. Some of us would be very at home. However, if any group of US citizens goes up against an SF contingent they'd get their plow cleaned. But its great to know that some Americans are still exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.

Hey, Pete Sucks...
Was it Freud who noted that hoplophobia was a symptom of sexual and emotional immaturity?

Even with those who are personally blasé about weaponry, they fear more your freedom to have and defend yourself with weapons.

I look at the autoweapon this way: At over a buck a round, and twelve rounds a second, one can burn through a day's pay rather fast.

BTW, did Sigfried READ this article before commenting? Some of the lefties posting here are EXTREMELY SILLY. Is Ziggy endorsing them?

Louis, head-to-head maybe, but an inferior, lighter-armed force can cause LOTS of problems fighting a guerilla war.

How long have we been in Afghanistan again? Do we NOT have SF there?

Ran Sucks| 4.8.09 @ 9:35AM

No Ran, you're wrong. Pete Sucks is cool!

Guns make great political symbols for them wine sipping, NPR listening Volvo drivers. In fact you can be pretty much expect them to ridicule ANYTHING that people in Kentucky do.
Ounce for ounce, automobiles and swimming pools kill far more Americans annually, including children, than all the guns in 50 states and DC.
Naturally though, only an ass would advocate banning cars, or cars that go above 25 MPH, or just the cars fitted with spoilers and chrome exhausts preferred by criminals, because you can't trample the rights of Volvo drivers .
We can't have a few criminals are driving off bridges trick us into replacing bridges with ferries.

I live in the Bay Area, work in San Francisco and am trained to use firearms. I'm armed not because I think the black helicopters are coming, but, because when the big earthquake hits, I will be prepared for those people who want to rob and kill my family. If you think this is fantasy, look up the news from the 1989 earthquake or the riots in LA after the first Rodney King verdict. The businesses that were not destroyed in Central LA, were those that were protected by armed owners. Hide in your hole if you want to and pray (oh sorry, liberals don't believe in God do they?) the police arrive in time to save your sorry asses. The Boy Scouts (another organization despised by the left) taught me to be prepared. The Navy taught me other things. My family won't be victims Pete, will yours?

Ran,

Yeah, liberals fear guns in the hands of citizens. They love them in the hands of their anointed Gestapo, though.
